The Commissioner urged the group and other stakeholders to continue supporting the present administration and making its achievements known, particularly among young people and students who have benefited from various government interventions.

Also speaking, the Chairman, Kwara State Youth Technical Working Committee, Comrade Uthman Abdulquadir Alapansanpa, encouraged members of the group to work assiduously and ensure that they play their roles effectively in supporting the government’s programmes and policies.

The Coordinator of AASSG, Comrade Jimoh Dauda, noted that students in the diaspora and those studying in other states were also rallying support for the administration in recognition of its interventions in the education sector.

He particularly highlighted the Governor’s increase in bursary support for students, noting that the initiative had helped ease the financial burden on students and made life easier for them.

He further disclosed that the group comprises students from various tertiary institutions within Kwara State and beyond, adding that members are committed to mobilising students and youths in support of the administration and its developmental agenda.

The group also expressed its willingness to support the government in the forthcoming election of the Rt. Hon. Yakubu Danladi Salihu, while reaffirming its commitment to constructive youth and student participation in the political process.

For citizens and residents, it’s three years of bountiful harvests, it’s a...
